"God sometimes calls people into difficult situations; I think the AMA is one of those situations, and perhaps there are folks who God has called to change it from the inside. I don't think it is possible any longer. It's gone so far down a slippery slope, and those who are left within the organization have such little control, that the ability for change is remote."
David Stevens, CEO, Christian Medical Association
"Belonging to [the AMA] probably makes you complicit with evil. And that is something a Christian should not ever be caught up in — endorsement or complicity with an organization that is doing evil. Scripture teaches we must avoid every kind of evil; we must never do evil that good may come; we must hate and oppose evil; we should separate ourselves from evil; and we should overcome evil with good."
